This was as compelling and chilling as the original story, and I didn't think that could be done. I really liked all the different POVs, Frannie's especially. And Dief! I loved Dief's POV, the first one to realize there was Something Very Wrong, and twitching his ears frantically at Fraser to let him know. And Fraser at the end, grimly holding onto hope with both hands--especially when nobody else does. That was *very* Fraser. Kudos!
